Oh, I love those Colorado RockiesAnd that big starry Montana skyAnd the lights of San FranciscoOn a California nightEnjoyed those ballgames in ChicagoOn those windy afternoonsIt's a big beautiful countryBut I'm never home too soonIf it ain't Dixie, it won't do

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like homeMy southern blood runs deep and trueI've had good timesNorth of the lineI've got a lot of good friends, tooBut if it ain't Dixie, it won't doIt won't do

When the leaves turn in New EnglandI love the chill that's in the airI've walked the New York City sidewalksHad a big time in Times SquareBut now my wheels are rollin' southwardAnd heaven's comin' into viewHome-sweet-home is AlabamaThat's what I look forward too

If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like homeMy southern blood runs deep and trueI've had good timesNorth of the lineI've got a lot of good friends, too

If it ain't Dixie, it won't doIt won't do

If it ain't DixieOh no, Oh no-whoah

Now my wheels are rollin' southwardAnd heaven's comin' into viewHome-sweet-home is AlabamaThat's what I look forward to
